Sunset: The instant Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

How can one of the two sisters be the tidiest, the most beautiful, the most ambitious, the happiest, the most attractive amongst the two? This is an innocent vision of brotherhood and sisterhood that is set aside once you mature. But Ruth has the emotional depth of an 8 year old, it seems. So much so that she has a s*xual relationship with her dead sister's boyfriend, which just seems like the final nail in the coffin of bad taste. Sure, it may happen once in a lifetime... but it doesn't serve anything to this story except some SPICEYYYY moments, which I didn't really look for in a book about a dead sister.

A narrative full of emotive prose, exploring grief and how it creeps into every inch of your life - from your thoughts, emotions, daily tasks etc - life is never quite the same. A truly visceral reflection on grief that genuinely was like nothing I have ever read, I could not get enough of this one and cannot recommend this one enough (TW's to be mindful of).

Although her behaviour isn’t particularly agreeable at times and her social capacity/tolerance for other humans is limited (same 😂) I thought she was a really well thought out character and that she will appeal to every reader. The author does a great job of expressing that trauma is unique to everyone and self destructive behaviour can be a very valid coping mechanism.

The Sun Trail • Thunder Rising • The First Battle • The Blazing Star • A Forest Divided • Path of Stars West End and Broadway director Jamie Lloyd ( Cyrano de Bergerac, Evita) will reimagine one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s best-loved musicals – based on the Billy Wilder film - for a whole new generation.SUNSET BOULEVARD is a much loved musical based on the 1950’s Billy Wilder film of the same name. It features a score including With One Look, As If We Never Said Goodbye and The Perfect Year. In terms of her characterisation, I appreciated how cave highlighted the multifaceted nature of sibling relationships; the closeness, the cattiness and of course at the end of the day, unconditional love -even if they do steal your clothes all the time without asking! Yes Daniel, I’m looking at you... At first, I wasn’t sure about the way the dialogue is laid out (it appears in a script-like way) but I soon grew accustomed to it and I commend Cave for her choice (rather than jumping on the no quotation marks bandwagon). Speaking of dialogues, these too are marvellously realistic. The exchanges Ruth has with others could be funny, awkward, and/or tense. Regardless of the nature of the discussion or conversation, Cave’s dialogues rang true-to-life.

Cave clearly has a very authentic and distinctive voice. Her writing is both devastating and wryly humorous, especially when it comes to reflections on grief, loneliness and the impact of sudden trauma. Which clearly comes from a place of personal, lived experience.Sally Estes, Booklist "A suspensful adventure story that urges readers onward." -ALA Booklist Readers Love Warriors [ ] Sunset Swing brings Ray Celestin’s brilliant City Blues Quartet to an end in quite some style… The best book in a quite remarkable series.” However, I think my main struggle was more to do with the characters as individuals. Who felt too “moaning, middle-class millennial” for me. This book is heavy on grief and how different people perceive and deal with grief. It has a very strong sibling/sisterly dynamic and was really refreshing to read about. It also focuses on mental health and has vast character growth.

Ruth and Hannah have an unbreakable sisterly bond. They grew up in a challenging family environment with parents who partied and chased their creative (yet also failing) dreams instead of parenting. Hannah and Ruth are left to their own devices most of the time leaving Hannah to take on the motherly role. Sunset is an ambitious debut fiction novel by Jessie cave (yes, otherwise known as Lavender Brown for all you potter heads out there!) stars!! Wasn't expecting to love this one as much as I did. So good! It's one of the most beautiful and effortless written books I've read ever.Budem úprimná, do tejto knihy som šla naslepo s tým, že som opäť vo svojej Harry Potter fáze a túto napísala herečka, ktorá hrala Lavender Brown, tak jej dám šancu. I also loved the way Cave portrays and discusses things like depression, death, sex, menstruations, and other things that are usually sensationalised or romanticised or completely glossed over. In addition, Ruth’s narrative is full of piercing observations about other people or her own life. I also found that those references to ‘real’ places (such as Costa, Tesco, WHSmith) made Ruth’s London all the more vivid. For fans of dolly alderton’s ghost, I think you’ll enjoy this book! It’s not a bad book by any means, just wasn’t quite my cup of tea! Most importantly, there is song, ringing out through the natural rustle of wind and bird and harvest, threatening to transform this drama into a musical, that purest of cinematic fantasias (no surprise that Davies cites Seven Brides for Seven Brothers as inspirational). When the Guthrie family move house to accommodate their ever expanding brood, they do so to the strains of Wayfaring Stranger hauntingly sung by Jennifer John. On her wedding night, Chris performs a keening rendition of Flowers of the Forest, the music of which is woven into the very fabric of Grassic Gibbon’s text. Later, Ewan (Kevin Guthrie) sings a few line of Robert Burns’s The Lass That Made the Bed to Me, another song taken directly from the rhapsodic sacred source. Throughout, Davies’s aim remains true. He is perhaps the only film-maker in the world who could stage a tipsy rendition of Ladies of Spain without the slightest hint of a Spielberg reference (it wouldn’t surprise me if he’d never seen Jaws). A comedic tragedy of sorts, all about love, grief and the process of reconciliation. Sunset follows a heavily codependent relationship between two sisters, Ruth and Hannah, in the aftermath of a rather sudden and unexpected, accident abroad.
